Berserker rage...vision going red...foaming at mouth...
FFS! I dn't knw what grismy sh1t more; the scum who made the claim, the lawyers who represented them or the gutless politcos/civvies servants who bottled it and are now going to pay them off - WITH OUR FCUKING MONEY!
I blame the police though; instead of making a big announcement every time they grab a load of drugs, keep sctum, cut the drugs with som fast acting poison and put it back on the streets. We'll son see a sharp reduction in the number of addicts. One way or another.

Don't know if this has been posted before can't see anything on the site so here goes:

200 drug addicted prisoners are to receive thousands in compensation following allegations of torture in the stopping of them taking drugs whilst in prison.

They have alleged a breach of their human rights by the Prison Service by encouraging them to take part in a treatment programme that involves "cold turkey" as the substitute Methadone is withdrawn.

FFS

These people have been incarcerated by the law as they have broken it, probably as a result of their addiction. They are held at HM pleasure for which the taxpayer is footing the bill.

They have recieved a treatment that also cost the taxpayer cash.

They then have the audacity to claim damages which will also cost the taxpayer.

God, give me strength, I say invoice these tw*ts for the time and money of the British taxpayer that has obviously been wasted on their rehabilitation and when they are unable to pay, jail them again.

Comments please as I can't write anymore as the red mist is rising.

What a lovely bit of misdirection, Stinker!

According to The Times "Six tests cases will now be tried at the High Court in London in November". Which means that a decision on culpability has not yet been made and no "thousands in compensation" has been allocated. Further I would point out that only six ex prisoners are currently claiming compensation.

If You were quoting a newspaper report then I apologise, but would note that it is etiquette to link to the article quoted. (If it was a quote - it wasn't from the Daily Mail was it )
